SUGGESTIONS I I
SUGGESTIONS I WISE AND OTHERWISE I The Ministry of Food every day re- ceives suggestions from people who oould "do the job better them- selves." Some are quite good, some A man in a London suburb refuses to economise while there are 5 million dogs in England. He thinks all dogs should be shot. A housewife suggests one flourless day a week, when no flour at all should be used. A firm of Steamship Owners sug- gests that all shop windows be white- washed to the height of 6 feet to pre- vent the useless waste of time spent in dressing them. A Welshman considers that if the baking of bread in separate tins was prohibited 50,000 Igs. of fat per day would be saved. A Scotchman proposes that the sale of all sauces, pickles, relishes, jellies, etc., should be forbidden, as they en- courage people to over eat. A Birmingham man thinks that "drink" should be rationed as well as food. A countrywoman suggests that all mayors or chairmen of parish councils should see how far each parish can be made self-supporting, so that eggs vegetables, etc., need not be brought long distances. An allotment holder who grew a fino crop of potatoes states that his wife makes most excellent bread by using equal quantities of flour and potato; 4 lbs. of each make 91bs. of j bread. FOOD ITEMS. I Horseflesh is now being sold in Pet- rograd at 5s. a pound. Hen ley-on-T hames Town Council have decided to start a municipal pig gery. Manchester but-cliers are to regis- ter their customers and to sell them not more than a shillingsworth of meat per head per week. No one in the Royal Household is allowed to exceed the rations. Meat is seldom served at the family table, the King and Queen rarely eat butter, and bread and jam often constitute tho tea meal. No alcohol appears on the tables. Certain shops in Nottingham are to be licensed to sell horseflesh. Nearly 31 tons of tomatoes were grown in nine London parks last year. Brighton deep-sea anglers caught 50,000 lbs. of fish for hospitals last M. ISpe Food Production Department suggests that allotment holders should co-operate in pig-keeping. DIG, BOYS, DIG! Norwich schoolboys are setting the pa(*? in useful war work. They h?. undertaken to dig gardens belonging to soldiers' wives and widows. It is a chivalrous idea that the boys who are able to live in safety in England should eome to the aid of the women whose husbands are giving their lives to keep England safe, and a fitting payment of the debt which the rising generation owes to the present generation, which has given so whole-heartedly. It is also a most practical idea, for, by the help of the boys' digging, wo- men will. be ahle to cultivate their little plots and grow vegetables for the needs of their families, thus adding to the National Food Supply.

The lines wero recited the other night in the the Swansea. district, and a correspon- j dent who witnessed the effect confesses he has never seen a crowd moved into more robust laughter. If every village penny-readin g or eisteddfod placed on their list the "Q" song, which has dis- covered the true humour of the queues we can imagine the months ahead re- lieved of their weariness by a health- ier feeling than growsing.

GERMAN OFFENSIVE ATI HAND.
GERMAN OFFENSIVE AT HAND. There is no longer any doubt that tho attempt to break through may ooine at any moment now, and a grand attack will be hurled against the Bri- tish armies somewhere between Arras and St. Quentin. The cumulative evidence from all sources shows that the coming offen- sive will be conducted upon the prin- ciples of surprise. The winter training of the enemy divisions hus been based upon the idea of repeating the tactics which succeeded in Galicia, at Riga, and on the Isonzo. Large bodies of troops have been exercised in making forced marches, covering as much as twenty miles in a day, then billeting or bivouacing near the imaginary front line of the enemy for the night, and breaking through at dawn with virtu- ally no artillery preparation. The presumptive disregard tor the existenoe of defensive wire goes to con- firm the idea that the Germans will employ tanks, as by no other method as an alternative to destructive bom- bardment could they break down the barbed obstruction. It seems probable that we shall witness some exciting duels between thewe structures, in which numbers and experience will be all on our side. According to very general statements, great results are expected by the enemy from the em- ployment of a new gas. Wo know that the Germans intend to use gas shells ivery frc-tly in the artillery support of their infantry attacks, and incidentally one wonders, if this new device of f rightfulness is so very pungent, whether it may not prove as deadly to the attackers as the attacked since, we have certainly not to learn from the Huns in the way of effective protec- tion against their poison methods. Upon one very interesting point the evidence appears to bo clear. It is that the proposed new form of attack has the entire confidence of the officers, but that the men regard it with dis- may, particularly thope who have had much experience of the western front warfare. They declare that against such troops as the British and French with their enormous armaments and powerful defensive systems, such ef- forts at surprise cannot at best meet with more than small local successes, and that these will be purchased at frightful oost.-Prt-ss Association Cor- respondent.
-.-.-.-..-..I FIRST SERVICE…
FIRST SERVICE IN JERUSA LEJI CONDUCTED BY A WELSHMAN. Impressions of Jerusalem are con- tained in a letter written by the Rev. H: IL Frank Williams, M.C., vicar of St. Matthews, Pontypridd, who is serving as a chaplain with tho forces to one of the officers of his church. He adds:—"It will interest you to know I held the first service in Jerusalem after the British occupation. "I do hope and pruv we may not lose the prize when it is within our grasp by making a hurried and patched up peace. Better another tv*o years of this war than to end it now, and in tho next generation see our sons and daughters dragged into another such inferno. I am certain all the fighting men will say Amen to that. "The men are marvellous, and whnt you people at home forget is that they have been fighting and roughing it now for three months without a break. Here it is not like France, three days of hell, and then comforta ble billets, baths, change of clothes, etc. It is open fighting, no proteeting trenches. j True, tho artillery is wpak compared to what they have on the western front but tile small .arm fire is heavier. Think of all this—wet and oold, and the strain of war; often every rag soaked [ for two or three days, cjnthes and blankets, and no fire to dry them. And the poor fellows sometimes get letters from home in which 'their folks con- gratulate them on being out there in- I stead of in France j

I-._-I INADEQUATE HOUSING
INADEQUATE HOUSING FRENCH AGREEMENT WITH THE BRITISH LABOUR ADJS I An a?r<?ment in principle on the Labour Party's war aims ha: be<'u reached by the French Socialists. Them is no doubt that the a?ppeaLs ?or unity made by Mr. Henderson, Mr Pt:iins Maodnnnld, Mr J. H. ¥krmn,s 't'- "r V andorveide, and M. Huysmans at the openi ng session of the National Coun- cil contributed to this result. i The argument advanced that tho British workers had closed up their ranks and agreed on a, niemoruid um. proved iresistible. The Majority and Minority parties of the French Social- ists have in turn sunk all differences of opinion in so far as the main fiUes of the memorandum are concerned, only maintaining their respective points of view on internal politics, and the British delegates have returned home more than satsfied with the suc- cess of their mission. After a vote on the various motions which gave the Renaudol (Majority) Party a majority of 59, a committer of ten, including represontatives of all sections of the party, sat from nine till midnight to draw up the text of a re- sol u which will constitute the charter of the French Socialist Party at the Inter-Allied Conference in Lon- don. It is the view of the British, French, Belgian, Italian, and Serbian Socialists who have exchanged views here that the resolution to be passed at the final 8ittin of the Conference on Satur- day will be a challenge to the Social- ists of the Central Empires to come forth and declare their conditions of a democratic peace—a democratic peace against the Kaiser, and not a- peace foi- tlio Kal-w,r." On their reply will depend whether the Internationale- can be resumed. The London Con- ference will decide whether the luter- nation ale reunion should take place j at Berne er Stockholm.
